Please request this exam at the circulation desk in the Music Library. The exam will be taken in the library (one hour is allowed). Please return the exam to the circulation desk. Exams will be delivered to the Music Department for grading; students will be notified of results in 1 or 2 days.

Students who have had no experience with music notation will not take the exam. Please contact the appropriate instructor (either Dan Brink, Nilanjana Bhattacharjya, or Ofer Ben-Amots) to obtain the enrollment pin number.
